Domain Names

My web development experience has changed so much since I learned how to register a domain name the right way. You owe it to yourself to get involved with domain name registration research as there is plenty of great domain names waiting for you to buy for your niche websites or blogs. Don’t be intimidated by how to register a domain name as it is easier than you might think.

When it comes to registering a domain name I consider myself to be somewhat of an expert. I have years of experience with domain name registration. All of this will be shared within this article so you too can use the same guidelines and resources I use for selecting the right domain names for your websites or blogs.

So with that said your first task is of course is doing your keyword research. This is the most important part because you want your website or blog to be built around a specific topic. When a web surfer searches Google, Yahoo or MSN, they get a list of results and within those results are listing with a Title, Description and URL(your domain name).

What I’m getting at here is the more relevant your website or blog is the better. At that goes for the search engines to because they take special emphasis on websites domain names and will rank them accordingly. That’s why you want to have a relevant keyword or long tail keyword as your domain name if its available.

Now you can do your keyword research using several free online services but for the sake of this article I’m just going to mention one that I use and that’s Google Adwords Keyword Suggestion Tool. You can find it at this URL: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

Use this service using your main keyword and generate yourself a decent size list of keywords(around 20-30). You want to do this because you may not get the one you want right off the start so by having this list ready you’ll have a good chance at getting al least one of them.

Once you’ve completed that step you are now ready to use a special free service for finding available domain names on several domain name registers.

This service is called DomainBot – http://www.domainsbot.com

What this service does is it allows you to type in your keyword, and then searches the domain name registers databases within its network for available domain names under whatever keyword you typed in. Hopefully the one you typed in turns up available.

If all goes well all you have to do from this point on is register the domain name under a domain name registering service you choose. You will of course have to set up an account at one of them if you don’t have one already.

Its that easy and the time you save doing this is priceless especially if you plan on building more then one niche website or blog which I highly recommend you do.

I hope these steps above helped you and good luck with building your network of niche websites or blogs.
